Along with gaps in reference structures, return via placement can adversely affect signal integrity and radiated emissions. Of specific concern is mode conversion, often considered an indicator of radiated emission problems. Placing return vias around connectors is complicated by the presence of many signal pairs in a small area. Return vias are generally considered benign, but placing return vias can decrease the mode conversion for some pairs and increase it for others. This paper describes methods for efficiently optimizing via arrays containing many signal pairs. Genetic algorithms and a fast via solver are used for optimization studies to analyze mode conversion over regions around signal vias.","PeriodicalId":279929,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132520564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several definitions of time-domain shielding effectiveness, recently introduced in the literature, can thus be discussed and compared with the conventional time-harmonic shielding effectiveness. Comparisons with results obtained numerically through an exact canonical double inverse Fourier transform are also provided, showing the accuracy of the proposed semi-analytical formulation for screens with nanometric thickness.","PeriodicalId":279929,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123957880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In previous work, switching VR modeling based on Pspice was discussed in the work of Xu and Zhong (2013). However, it is fairly accurate with simulation time limited by circuit complexity and often results in convergence issues. Besides, due to the SPICE nature, a separate average model has to be derived in order to simulate its AC performance. In this paper, we introduce a novel switching VR modeling methodology in Simplis environment, together with Intel latest server platform collaterals. In addition to excellent AC/Transient correlations, the Simplis modeling demonstrates the capability of simulating VR controller specific functions, such as dynamic voltage identification (DVID), Advanced Transient Algorithm (ATA), auto phase shedding, etc. The results in combination reveal an exciting potential that system designers now can co-design VR and board level power delivery to achieve best overall performance and cost solutions.","PeriodicalId":279929,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121396732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several systems for voice and data transmission using many different transmission standards and frequencies on the pier and onboard are in use. An inexpensive and reliable high data rate communication link between ship and pier has not been realized yet. The land based complex metallic structures (containers, cranes etc.) produce multiple reflections of the transmitted signals which may interfere and lead to dead areas where communication is blocked due to destructive interference. Other communication systems may work in the same frequency band which leads to concurrent frequency usage. Multiple transmission systems on the same frequency lead to a degradation of the performance of each system, e.g. lower data rates, higher latencies. In this paper the EMC and the propagation effects of a wireless system for marine use in the 2.4 GHz are investigated. To overcome the disadvantages of concurrent frequency usage and multipath propagation the use of a phased array antenna system is presented.","PeriodicalId":279929,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116667080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
